{life lately}

Travis starts school in two days, on Monday! So, thankfully, we have had a couple weeks to get settled and rest up for the five years ahead. They will be long and hard but they will most definitely be worth it.

We were both able to go with the missionaries to an inactive member's house and meet with him for lunch. He is blind and he is absolutely hilarious! We are hoping he'll accept our ride to church or to come over for dinner at our house sometime soon. His wife isn't a member so we want to meet her too. We were also able to go to a stake pioneer celebration breakfast and to the Raleigh temple. It is such a small temple compared to Provo...but it's all the same! The church is true wherever we are.

We have also had fun with friends in the area and are especially grateful to have met some great friends who live in the same buildings as us here at Baity Hill who are members of the church.

We went to meet our new set of Maternal Fetal Medicine OBGYNs yesterday too at UNC's Women's Hospital. We are going to be very well taken care of and we feel really good about the great doctors, equipment, and facilities there. And we live about a 30 second drive away! An induction will be scheduled for this baby when we reach 39 weeks on December 21st if I don't go into labor before then on my own. So we will have this baby before Christmas! And what a memorable Christmas it will be.
